Registers the new WiMAX device, sets up the user-kernel control
interface (generic netlink) and common WiMAX infrastructure.
</p><p>
Note that the parts that will allow interaction with user space are
setup at the very end, when the rest is in place, as once that
happens, the driver might get user space control requests via
netlink or from debugfs that might translate into calls into
wimax_dev->op_*().
